Awareness is a lesson we are trying to teach in our country everyday with HIV and AIDS. Part of the disease is not knowing what your body is going through, further affirming why the "Know your status" phrase has been making rounds in South Africa in the media. The same applies, obviously, to other diseases like Cancer. It is imperative to know as much as you can about it so that you can fight it.
My mother has survived cancer twice (the second time during Christmas) and so as you can imagine I appreciate the efforts of celebrities who are aiming to create awareness. There is a long list of celebrities who have had testicular cancer, the most famous survivor being Lance Armstrong. While it's all well and good for people to enjoy the nudity of an admired celebrity I prefer to focus on the cause at hand.
The shoot immediately reminded me of the 1993 cover of Rolling Stone featuring Janet Jackson and then fiancé René Elizondo, Jr. cupping her breasts from behind. Now the image of Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has been stripped for cancer awareness in the February issue of Cosmopolitan UK. The hands belong to none other than his girlfriend and Victoria Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna.
